What in the world is SmokeStik? SmokeStik is an electronic smoking device, but the question is: Does SmokeStik replace conventional cigarettes? Is it better to use SmokeStik instead of smoking real cigarettes?

How SmokeStik works The idea behind this e-cigarette sounds interesting: SmokeStik re-creates the sensation of smoking by delivering nicotine but not the carbon monoxide, tar and cancer-causing chemicals that make traditional cigarettes so dangerous to your health.

It sounds good but is it really a good idea to use something like SmokeStik or other e-cigarettes? There is no easy way to answer this question. I want to say something like “No, of course it is not a good idea. Anything to do with smoking, cannot possibly be good for your healthy,” but some people who have been smoking for years claim that SmokeStik has helped them quite smoking traditional cigarettes, which is obviously a good thing.

The FDA has recently released a report in which it claims they found a whole bunch of nasty stuff (toxic chemicals and carcinogens) in a very small sample of e-cigarettes it examined. To be fair, it is worth mentioning that SmokeStik responded to the FDA’s report by saying that their product was not included in the FDA’s sample. They also claim that independent lab tests show that their product does not contain any substances mentioned in the FDA’s report.

The bottom line on SmokeStik Stick with celery and carrots. Seriously, I think e-cigarettes are so new that we do not really know if they produce any dangerous side effects. I want to see some double blind scientific studies before jumping to any conclusions.
